Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - Only this, and nothing more.' Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore - Nameless here for evermore. And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating `'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; - This it is, and nothing more,' Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, `Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; - Darkness there, and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!' This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!' Merely this and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. `Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore - Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; - 'Tis the wind and nothing more!' Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, `Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no c . Ghastly grim and ancient wandering from the nightly shore - Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the , `Nevermore.' Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door - Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as `Nevermore.' But the , sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only, That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered - Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before - On the morrow will he leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the bird said, `Nevermore.' Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, `Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore - Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore Of "Never-nevermore."' But the still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore - What this grim, ungainly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking `Nevermore.' This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. `Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!' Quoth the , `Nevermore.' `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! - Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted - On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore - Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!' Quoth the , `Nevermore.' `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore - Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore - Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?' Quoth the , `Nevermore.' `Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting - `Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the , `Nevermore.' And the , never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore!

i find myself agreeing strongly with rushdie, but would take it to a more basic, visceral level. i think much of the islamic militant movement is essentially a hate crime; it is people "getting off" on the rewarding (in the skinnarian sense) aspects of feeling and venting rage and anger. like any hate crime it is directed at some members of an out-group who can be somehow be defined as non-human. it's primary participants are young males whose behavior is strongly influenced by testerone; it is an emotional outlet for confused young males who are otherwise well behaved and conform to societal expectations. like most forms of aberrant or self destructive behavior it is an exaggeration of normal tendencies.

the things people won't let you forget. sad. welcome back lambone.

given my concerns about the objective hazards of a motorcycle, or even a bicycle if much of your commute is in traffic, i'd think about owning a second car for when you don't need the suv. some years ago i had a 2 door '89 nissan sentra that i bought (and later sold) for $2K. it got about 40 mpg and was very reliable. i eventually got a 4x4 pathfinder for my needs, but for a while was lazy and didn't get around to selling it, so i had 2 cars. it really wasn't bad, i'd drive the sentra around town or even on long trips to save gas when i didn't need the big car. basic liability insurance is cheap (i pay $50/month), and you can get a discount for one driver with 2 cars. the downside was finding parking for both. i eventually sold the sentra because i don't drive to work anyway, but remember thinking it would make sense to keep it if i did. anyway, the basic suggestion is look for an older, inexpensive, high mpg japanese car as a commuter/around town car.

you are an infinite loop.

maybe i've just been on this board long enough to remember the spraydaddies before the advent of the banninators, but i don't really notice kevbone's posts that much. it's like i can subcontiously place him and others like him on a mental auto-ignore. AND TO ALL YOU MOFO'S THAT TUNED OUT THIS POST!!!

First of all, we're On Deadly Ground, not dangerous ground. Now, we all know the environment is Under Siege. On behalf of the environment, I'm Out for Justice. The problem is, there's people on both sides of this issue that think they're Above the Law. Well I've got news for you- they aren't. As long as the the earth remains Marked for Death, I will be there to make an Executive Decision and these chumps will be left only with Exit Wounds. Then the rest of us who truly care about what matters will be able to drive off Into the Sun. Does that clear things up for you? This issue is Hard to Kill. Some Glimmer Man needs to enter the Belly of the Beast at Half Past Dead while it's still Submerged or Today You Die. The Patriot and The Foreigner are Out of Reach but they know The Fire Down Below. The Shadow Man, a Mercenary for Justice, is Out for a Kill at The Black Dawn.

so i guess we're on dangerous ground here, but i'm still confused. so how does one save the environment and it's natural spiritual balance with detached and self rightious blend of aikido and anything goes? explain.

elsewhere in the news - mr. penis pump got off [heh] (UPI) -- A felony charge against an Iraqi man who told security screeners at Chicago`s O`Hare Airport his penis pump was a bomb have been dropped. Mardin Amin, 29, was arrested Aug. 29 after screeners said when asked what an unusual object was in his hand luggage, he twice whispered 'bomb.' Amin tried to explain he was saying 'pump,' as in one for soccer balls, as he was too embarrassed to state its real purpose because his mother was standing nearby. Wednesday, Cook County prosecutors agreed to drop the charge against Amin, who faced up to three years in prison if convicted. Amin`s lawyer, Eileen O`Neill, told the Chicago Sun-Times there was compelling reason to drop the charge. 'Right from the get-go, it made no sense that a guy who has worked as a translator for (the U.S.) Army in Iraq wouldn`t know the consequences of saying, `I have a bomb,`' she said.

name her and be done with it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing In 2001, the Los Angeles Times accused Microsoft of astroturfing when hundreds of similar letters were sent to newspapers voicing disagreement with the United States Department of Justice and its antitrust suit against Microsoft. The letters, prepared by Americans for Technology Leadership, had in some cases been mailed from deceased citizens or nonexistent addresses.

i can't believe people are still talking about pope. dwayner is permanently banned and people are still climbing bolted routes.

Wearing a helmet puts cyclists at risk, suggests research Dr Ian Walker, Department of Psychology, University of Bath Click here for more information. Drivers pass closer when overtaking cyclists wearing helmets than when overtaking bare-headed cyclists, increasing the risk of a collision, the research has found. Dr Ian Walker, a traffic psychologist from the University of Bath in the UK, used a bicycle fitted with a computer and an ultrasonic distance sensor to record data from over 2,500 overtaking motorists in Salisbury and Bristol. Dr Walker, who was struck by a bus and a truck in the course of the experiment, spent half the time wearing a cycle helmet and half the time bare-headed. He was wearing the helmet both times he was struck. He found that drivers were as much as twice as likely to get particularly close to the bicycle when he was wearing the helmet. Across the board, drivers passed an average of 8.5 cm (3 1/3 inches) closer with the helmet than without The research has been accepted for publication in the journal Accident Analysis & Prevention. "This study shows that when drivers overtake a cyclist, the margin for error they leave is affected by the cyclist's appearance," said Dr Walker, from the University's Department of Psychology. "By leaving the cyclist less room, drivers reduce the safety margin that cyclists need to deal with obstacles in the road, such as drain covers and potholes, as well as the margin for error in their own judgements. "We know helmets are useful in low-speed falls, and so definitely good for children, but whether they offer any real protection to somebody struck by a car is very controversial. "Either way, this study suggests wearing a helmet might make a collision more likely in the first place." Dr Walker suggests the reason drivers give less room to cyclists wearing helmets is down to how cyclists are perceived as a group. "We know from research that many drivers see cyclists as a separate subculture, to which they don't belong," said Dr Walker. "As a result they hold stereotyped ideas about cyclists, often judging all riders by the yardstick of the lycra-clad street-warrior. "This may lead drivers to believe cyclists with helmets are more serious, experienced and predictable than those without. "The idea that helmeted cyclists are more experienced and less likely to do something unexpected would explain why drivers leave less space when passing. "In reality, there is no real reason to believe someone with a helmet is any more experienced than someone without. "The best answer is for different types of road user to understand each other better. "Most adult cyclists know what it is like to drive a car, but relatively few motorists ride bicycles in traffic, and so don't know the issues cyclists face. "There should definitely be more information on the needs of other road users when people learn to drive, and practical experience would be even better. "When people try cycling, they nearly always say it changes the way they treat other road users when they get back in their cars." The study also found that large vehicles, such as buses and trucks, passed considerably closer when overtaking cyclists than cars. The average car passed 1.33 metres (4.4 feet) away from the bicycle, whereas the average truck got 19 centimetres (7.5 inches) closer and the average bus 23 centimetres (9 inches) closer. However, there was no evidence of 4x4s (SUVs) getting any closer than ordinary cars. Previously reported research from the project showed that drivers of white vans overtake cyclists an average 10 centimetres (4 inches) closer than car drivers. To test another theory, Dr Walker donned a long wig to see whether there was any difference in passing distance when drivers thought they were overtaking what appeared to be a female cyclist. Whilst wearing the wig, drivers gave him an average of 14 centimetres (5.5 inches) more space when passing. In future research, Dr Walker hopes to discover whether this was because female riders are seen as less predictable than male riders, or because women are not seen riding bicycles as often as men on the UK's roads. ### Notes for editors 11,257 adult cyclists were injured and 109 killed on the UK's roads in 2004, the latest year for which figures are available. However, for each bicycle accident officially recorded there are as many as 14 more which do not go on police records, and so the number injured is certainly an under-estimate. Being struck by an overtaking car is arguably the most dangerous form of collision for a cyclist, with a particularly high mortality rate. This work was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. A bicycle was modified for the project by Jeff Brewster from the University of Bath's Department of Mechanical Engineering. It carried an ultrasonic distance sensor which could measure how close vehicles passed to within a millimetre and a video system so that vehicle type could be classified. This research has been accepted for publication in Accident Analysis & Prevention, the world's top-rated peer-reviewed ergonomics journal.

i think that this thread has been moved to cafe sensitivioso (and not spray proper) should be a sign to all of us that maybe we should stop bashing gary. at the cafe sensitivioso other perspectives are always tolerated. inane dumb sh*t may resume as usual.
